Worst case scenario: Fried sub or fried amp. When you initially installed the system, did you adjust your gain properly? You could have overdriven a speaker. When you say "weird sounds," is it like a scratching noise or is it more like a muffled hum?.

I believe i no what has happened. I connected the power wire to the amp with power still going through it. So it might have reached the heat sink. I need to get this repaired....*hits head* DUM ASS DUM ASS DUM ASS!

Scuse the language. Man im pissed, this amp is 4 days old, she's justa baby. Can somebody tell me what needs to be repaired.?

Well if you got it somewhere you could always exchange it. Next time always pull the fuse before you install anything.. ITs all good i have done this before.. Subs being wierd - Page 2 -- posted image.

Is the amp still on? Does it have a protection led, and to me it sounds like the subs may be wired out of phase, thus a huge drop in output would happen. Did you move the amp back to where it once was to see if the problem can be duplicated there?

Top Secret, I can tell you but then my wife will kill me.

No Actually i had it checked at a local shop here in roseville. Guy said it was fine. But i have blown caps before with a friends car.. I had to buy him a new amp.. Well i had to buy a new amp.. But i called the company where it was made and they fixed it and then i sold it on ebay.. Made all my $$ back.. was nice.. lol.. But since yours is only 4 days old take it back.. They should have a 30 day warranty there at the shop.

Same thing happened to my friend...he just canned the whole thing. He got everything for free so he wasn't down any money and he didn't really have the space for it anyways. I assumed it was the ground, but he didn't care. You sound like you know a little about what your doing, but did you check your gain settings??

Prophit, you from MN??

Bravadas are cool
